Science Communication Workshop

This workshop will introduce the importance of effective science communication in today’s rapidly changing political, social and media landscape. The interactive workshop will help participants better communicate their science and why it matters to a choice of non-specialist audiences such as policymakers; journalists; corporate, government and non-profit managers; teachers and even your grandma. This fun workshop will include a basic introduction to science communication and exercises to help hone the main message and ‘so-what’ of each participant’s research. It will take place in two parts over the course of the day, with time allotted between group sessions for individual work on final presentations. Short ‘before and after’ 2-3 minute videos will be accessible to students to evaluate their progress (including delivery and style) and peers will nominate up to 5 selected videos to share with a larger audience at some point later in the meeting.Who:
